Melanie Jones

Wheaton North High School

Washington, D.C

Hi, I’m Melanie Jones! I am twenty year old aspiring journalist from the wonderful city of Chicago, IL. Currently I am studying Journalism at Howard University in the School of Communications. I decided I wanted to pursue journalism because I believe in the truth. In a society where the ability to access information has become instantaneous and has gone beyond what any of our ancestors would have imagined, we have lost our authenticity reporting the news. I want to get a better understanding of how people consume media, the different ways that people read and understand the news, and how that can impact reporting. I want to help the world be able to create conversations that are supported by the truth.
